Abstract

A series of pH indicators were trapped in sol-gel porous glasses by polymerization of tetramethoxysilane in the presence of a surface active agent. The properties of these novel sensing materials including spectral shifts, shifts in the pH-sensing range, cycle repeatability, leachability, rates of response and isosbestic points are described. A prototype of a pH meter based on a pH-sensing glass was constructed.
